Intellectual Assets in Japan View from the OECD 28-30 November 2005 Intellectual Assets Week of Japan RIETI conference Nobuo TANAKA Director for Science, Technology and Industry OECD 1 1 I. Why does the OECD study Intellectual Assets? 2 2 OECD Project on the Intellectual Assets and Value Creation Ministers meeting at the OECD in May of 2004 recognised: “…the critical importance of ‘intellectual assets’, including the human capital, innovation and business networks in enhancing productivity and in sustaining growth in a competitive global market. They proposed a programme of work aimed at improving understanding of the role of intellectual assets and their importance to economic performance.” 3 3 Background: Strong Japanese, UK, NLD & Nordic interest Q Q Q Q Danish requirement of an intellectual capital statement; Overhaul of UK Company Law; METI’s “Intellectual Property Disclosure Guidelines” Motivating factors: – – – – Ageing populations; New competitors; Outsourcing / off-shoring phenomenon; IT driven productivity & complementary investments; 4 4 Background: Previous OECD work on Intangibles 1962 Conference on Measurement of R&D (Frascati Manual); 1992 Technology and Economy Programme; 1998 Technology, Productivity and Job Creation project; 1999 Symposium on Measuring and Reporting Intellectual Assets; 2001 Growth Study (“The New Economy: Beyond the Hype”). 5 5 OECD members have shown divergent Economic Performance.

Firms exploit the value of their patents through multiple channels. Efforts are needed to make the contribution of patents to economic value more visible. Markets for technology offer significant social and economic benefits, but are developing unevenly across the OECD. A range of intermediaries help technology markets to function smoothly. Public institutions have an important role to play. – – – – Q Q Improving the administration of patent systems: Providing information to markets. Education and training. Supporting patent management in the public sector. Improved data collection, diffusion and analysis are needed. Greater international and domestic policy dialogue should be encouraged.

We don’t have to do that anymore. Change is in the air. Newspapers and networks hammer it home daily. GE people today understand that pace of change, the need for speed, and the absolute necessity of moving more quickly in everything we do, from inventory turnover, to product development cycles, to a faster response to customer needs. They understand that slow-andsteady is a ticket to the boneyard in the 1990s. “To Our Share Owners” (1990 Annual Report ) of GE 71 71 Thank You!
